Dui hit and run car theft.

[Highwayman]

the guy is getting off...

And just how do you know what a court is going to decide?

I would think you'd say that he "got off" if the charge was already dismissed.

 

[Highwayman]

What would help me?

YOU tell me. How is the perpetrator going to jail going to get you reimbursed for the damage to your vehicle?

I might have some good news for you, OP.

In a few no-fault states -- District of Columbia, Florida, Hawaii, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, and Utah -- injured drivers can to make a no-fault claim with their own insurer.

I overlooked your state, Kansas.

Read this, mate:

Does your insurer cover you in the event of a "hit and run" collision?

Oh snap, mate, you said you only have liability coverage, right?


But, but, but, just maybe, hold your mules, check this out:

It's worth a shot mate.

Thankyou in advance, I will start digesting the resources you posted.

I honestly want my car fixed at the expense of the perpetrator/owner operator of the vehicle, or the expense of his insurance. If he goes to jail that's his own cause and effect that landed him there.

I would think if a witness saw him trying to start the car that just colided with myne and then seeing him exit his vehicle and running would then prove his car wasn't stolen and that he is responsible for the wreck and damages to my vehicle.

I disagree and at the same time it doesn't hurt me or my feelings if he does. Maybe instead of lying and hiding from a horrible decision he should step up and do the honest thing and allow everyone to move forward fairly. If he has consequences then in no way shape or form would I need to feel any remorse or empathy. After he is exposed for lying to the police and the insurance company I don't care what he wants to use as defense. He can say he wasn't drunk and even if he was able to argue that, all facts will still show he was driving. So if he goes to jail or is brought to justice not helping me, I disagree. If he goes to jail because he wants to break laws and leave me or others victim to his wrong doings then it is beneficial to me and society.

Why do I sense you are trying to poke at me here?

 

[Highwayman]

Poke at you?

You seem to imply that if this guy goes to jail that it will solve all of your problems. It will NOT.
